Grant 4 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 Assuming the 335i checks out OK, I would go for that in a heart beat! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 Why is it listed as 3L? Pretty good fuel consumption for the engine size too 335i over 325i anyday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Why is it listed as 3L? Because they are 3.0 Litre Lucan N54 B30A engine Edited August 18, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 My choice would be the 335i hardtop convertible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 I dont know anything about the prices of E92's but what you need to find out is the difference to change. Im guessing someones going to want some cash in their pockets. Very rarely will a dealer do a straight swap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has iPod interface, Bluetooth, auto dip headlights etc etc If you want to know anything about it, just ask me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan 338 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Very rarely will a dealer do a straight swap. Haha we found a dealer who was willing to straight swap Mum's 08 ML500 for an 06 M5 - But she "wants a big car" ... I was heartbroken haha I'd definitely opt for the 335i, despite the mileage, it's not that high to be perfectly honest. That's my 335!! I just traded it on an M3.Is the M3 you got the one with like 5000kms on it? I think it had 19" or 20" wheels, Coupe, Manual, Gunmetal?

But i did love the 335, they are intoxicating to drive... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) 335i would be alot more fun and that price seems fairly reasonable on a car that would cost over 130k new to replace + options. Apparantley their torque comes in very quickly. Those fuel consumption figures are awesome for that kind of HP. Does it actually achieve anywhere near these figures ok? I still expect you'd be taking a big kick up the ass by moving into the 335i by the time you tradein? You might be better off listing the 325i yourself.

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Okay, here's my genuine opinion ... that car is overpriced for the km travelled. The last 335i Motorsport coupe I looked at was last year around April and it was an ex-demonstrator in white with 7000km on the clock - price ... $76,000 drive away. I've seen loads more similarly priced with way lower km (not recently however .. these seem to be holding value quite well - much better than the M3s for sure) Not worth it in my opinion.
